    WEELSBY WOODS PARK MANAGEMENT PLAN 2015 – 2020 North East Lincolnshire Council 1 FOREWORD WEELSBY WOODS PARK FIVE YEAR MANAGEMENT & MAINTENANCE PLAN 2015-2020 Parks and open spaces can be havens for wildlife, places for quiet relaxation and reflection, venues for healthy exercise, areas for play and focal points for the community. For these reasons, parks and open spaces have an important role in providing communities with a balanced and agreeable quality of life. North East Lincolnshire is therefore fortunate to have a number of high quality and accessible parks and open spaces scattered across the area. Each with its own charm; each serving its own community. Above all, parks make a key contribution to the image and identity of our local area. Our vision for parks is that by 2022, there will be a diverse network of safe, accessible and attractive green spaces that are well managed and maintained, through community participation, to enhance the quality of life, sense of well-being, health and learning opportunities for all sections of the community. The council is committed to creating spaces that are safe, clean and well maintained. In partnership with funding bodies, the Friends Group and many other partners, North East Lincolnshire Council is pleased to be able to preserve and enhance this special place for future generations to enjoy. 1 Weelsby Woods Park Management Plan 2015 - 2020 CONTENTS Contents WEELSBY WOODS PARK ........................................................................................ 1 MANAGEMENT PLAN 2015

Stems are hollow and 5 to 10 palmately lobed leaves (Hultén 1968). cm in diameter. They have dark reddish-purple spots and are covered in bristles. Leaves are large, compound, and 91 to 152 ½ cm in width. Inflorescences are many- flowered, broad, flat-topped umbels. They can grow as large as 76 ½ cm in diameter.

Given these impacts, the City of Reykjavík, Iceland, is concerned about three alien hogweed species: Heracleum mantegazzianum, H. persicum, and H. sphondylium. To assess this concern, these species were mapped in 11 districts in Reykjavík between May and August 2017 on both managed and unmanaged sites, using ArcGIS. The study also focused on the area of Laugarnes, where vegetation cover was measured and efforts to eradicate H.

Brentwood Blvd. St. Louis, Missouri 63144 [email protected] JUSTIN R. THOMAS Institute of Botanical Training, LLC 111 County Road 3260 Salem, Missouri 65560 [email protected] ABSTRACT An annotated checklist of the 2,961 vascular taxa comprising the flora of Missouri is presented, with conservatism rankings for Floristic Quality Assessment. The list also provides standardized acronyms for each taxon and information on nativity, physiognomy, and wetness ratings. Annotated comments for selected taxa provide taxonomic, floristic, and ecological information, particularly for taxa not recognized in recent treatments of the Missouri flora. Synonymy crosswalks are provided for three references commonly used in Missouri. A discussion of the concept and application of Floristic Quality Assessment is presented. To accurately reflect ecological and taxonomic relationships, new combinations are validated for two distinct taxa, Dichanthelium ashei and D. werneri , and problems in application of infraspecific taxon names within Quercus shumardii are clarified.

  • Controlling Giant Hogweed: the Scope of a Concerted Regional Intervention
    May 2018 Controlling giant hogweed: the scope of a concerted regional intervention Authors: Dre Joanne Aubé-Maurice, M.D., M. Sc., FRCPC, Medical Health Officer, Public Health Authority of the Bas-Saint- Laurent Integrated Health and Social Services Centre (CISSS du Bas-Saint-Laurent) Geneviève Fontaine, B. Sc., Environmental Health Professional, Public Health Authority of the Bas-Saint-Laurent Integrated Health and Social Services Centre Guylaine Morrier, B. Sc., Environmental Health Professional, Public Health Authority of the Bas-Saint-Laurent Integrated Health and Social Services Centre Summary Giant hogweed is an invasive alien plant that can severely burn the skin. The plant is not yet very prevalent in Bas-Saint- Laurent, and intervention in the region to date has focused on eradicating it during the first stage of its invasion. To that end, a consultation process was undertaken in 2015 under the leadership of the public health authority and the regional development collective (CRD), in collaboration with several partners. Significant mobilization around this common objective has helped establish the credibility of the process and facilitate its funding and significant progress on the ground. Introduction Photo 1 – Giant hogweed Giant hogweed (Photo 1) is an alien plant considered to be invasive, in particular because of the large number of seeds it can produce when the plants reach maturity (1). Since the seeds can float on water, they are able to travel and can be dispersed over distances of up to 10 km, thereby colonizing riparian areas (1). From an environmental standpoint, the proliferation of giant hogweed poses a risk to biodiversity.
